30 Day Blog Challenge Finale

ok, these are the last few days of the challenge. phew!
Day 27~ A problem you have, or have had in the past.~ Like many people I have problems with my weight.
Day 28~ Something that you miss ~ I miss working. I miss working with the public, and I miss the routine.
Day 29~ List 10 people, dead or alive, that you would invite to dinner. Include the menu. This is an easy one. I would invite my dad. I would also invite my 2 sisters and my brother. My mom too, That is 5. My brother's father in law, and my sister's in laws (all 3 passed away before they could meet their grandkids). My nieces and Nephew. I would love to see my dad hold his grandkids again. I would also love for the kiddos to meet their other grandparents. I wouldn't need to invite anyway famous, because my dad got along with everyone, and he can tell us all about the people in heaven. The menu is also easy. Corn on the Cob, and SALT. There were so many times that I went out with my dad and told him not to eat salt, because of his health. I would also have ice cream for the kiddos!
Day 30~ Goals for the next 30 days~ be more consistent!
Thanks for following me through this, and I learned about myself along the way. I hope that my readers did too!

30 Day Blog Challenge

Ok, if anything this challenge made me see that I need to post more often. I really am going to try hard to post every day. Here is what I missed
Day 20~ Thurs~ How important you think education is~I think that Education is very important. I think that College is good to have under your belt. Even if you don't find a job in your field, you never know when your education may come in handy. I also think that people should try to learn 1 new thing a day. Even if they learn it by playing Jeopardy!
Day 21~One of my favorite TV shows. My favorite of all time is Highlander. I also love Desperate Housewives, and Quantum Leap. I love Charmed as well.
Day 22~ how have you changed in the past 2 years. I learned a lot from politics. I also started to crochet, and do reviews!
Day 23~ Post 5 Pictures of People you find attractive.... For the sake of time I will list them instead. 1. Adrian Paul 2. Brad Pitt 3. Ryan Phillippe 4.Mario Lopez 5.Hugh Grant
Day 24~Your favorite movie and what it is about. I LOVE the movie Clue. Tim Curry stars. I know the movie line by line. Every time I lmao. It is a feel good movie that always makes me smile. There are 3 different endings, and each one is just as funny as the others. Even to this day I quote lines from the movie. So do my siblings. If you haven't seen it, then I suggest that you watch it. The rental fee will be worth the laughs! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clue_(film)
Day 25~ Someone who fascinates me and why. I am fascinated by Ken Jennings. Seriously He is really smart. I would like to know how much he really knows that was never asked on Jeopardy. He should teach people how to remember things like he does.
Day 26~ If I had $1,000,000 how would I spend it. Well first I would pay off my house, and my mom's. Then I would buy a whole roll of win for life lottery tickets ;). Then I would go on vacation. I need a spa day!

30 Day blog Challenge!

I have been putting off day 17 for 3 days now..... so here goes
Mon~ Day 17 ~ Your highs and lows of this past year.
Every day, every holiday, every house project has been a low without my dad. My parents had 3 cats and 3 dogs, that I grew up with for over 15 years. Now my mom has 2 cats. I lost 2 primaries, and spent a lot of time away from family in order to lose. Life has not been fun for me. I watched my dad die, and that it the lowest. It is the worst feeling in the world. I didn't do CPR (there were health reasons why I couldn't), but I sometimes feel that should have. No matter the consequences.

The best part of this last year was that my niece was born :). She is so beautiful and smart. She is such a blessing. My 5 year old nephew started kindergarten. He is like my adopted kiddo. lol. It was hard, but I am so proud of him. He is a completely different kid then he was a year ago. My God Daughter wants to go to school so bad. She is 4 and can play farmville and read. I mean any word I show her, she seems to know. The three of them are so spoiled. I wouldn't have it any other way!

Tues~ Day 18 ~ A book you can read over and over again and never get sick of.
Actually I have 2 :) The first 1 is the Stand by Stephen King Complete and uncut. Every time I read this book I pick up something I missed before. The other book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin. My hubby is my Mr. Darcy! I love the story and the mom lol she is so crazy! I love to read other books about the Bennet's as well. There are a bunch of books out there that expand the story line. I actually made a 90's version (some older songs too) soundtrack for the book when I was in high school. (it got an A). lol. I also love the movie versions of these books.

Wed~ Day 19 ~ My biggest regret in life~
I have 2; Not doing CPR on my dad, and not taking a different route to my sister's house the night I was in a car accident and disabled.

Hopefully these are it for the sad ones lol

30 Day Blog Challenge ~ Day 16

Day 16 ~ My Views on mainstream music.

I like some of the new stuff. I think that it is cool that music can reinvent itself over and over. I wonder how people in the 60's would react to Katy Perry. lol

30 Day Challenge ~ 8, 9, and 10

I was wicked busy this weekend with the tag sale, and with a hay ride with the kiddos. So here is Sat, Sun, and today!

Sun~Day 9~ If you could have any job, what would it be?
I love to teach, and I am 1 class away from my associates.That would be my choosen career. However if I could have ANY job in the world, then I would want to be adventurious. I would love to be Stephen King's proof reader, or an archeologist.....or a famous blogger!
Mon~ Day 10~ Your Guilty Pleasure~
I love Lindt chocolate Balls. I love reading in the bubble bath.

30 Day challenge! Days 6 & 7

Day 6~ Your Zodiac sign and does it fit your personality...
Well I am a Capricorn. lol. Wikipedia states "Capricorn is considered an introvert sign.[1] It is also considered an earth sign and one of the four cardinal signs. Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn. Individuals born when the Sun was in this sign are considered Capricorn individuals. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun enters Capricorn by definition at the moment of winter solstice, or roughly at December 22, and leaves it around January 20....In Synastry, the natives of Capricorn are generally considered to be compatible with the natives of the other earth signs, Taurus and Virgo, and the natives of the water signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Aries and Libra are signs of the other nature (masculine/extroverted), but are considered semi-compatible with Capricorn due to them having the same cardinal quality."

I don't think that I am an introvert, although I can definitely remember times that I have been. I am an earthy person and believe that I should have n earth sign. I was a vegetarian for almost 15 years. I love to garden and I love animals. I also fit into the Synastry definition because I married a Taurus. :)

Day 7~ Your favorite childhood toys~
Well like every child of the 80s I had Cabbage Patch kids, Pound Puppies, and Glow Worms. However my favorite toy was Lil' Drowsy. (I gave her to my goddaughter now). She had a bean bag body and a plastic face. She always sat upright and was my nighttime companion. I also have collected yearly bears from Kmart/Walmart every year since I was 4. (They take up a whole utility shelf in my basement.lol). I was lucky, because I was the youngest of four kids, so I was able to play with older toys as well. I can remember playing with my sisters She Ra and my Brothers He Man. O my God and my brothers origional "real" metal transformers. we used to slide them down my mom's rope clothesline in our basement. I also enjoyed the Wuzzles (Lionkey...lol) and I liked the Snorks. lol.
My hubby loved fire trucks, and Tom & Jerry.
Just for the record, being the youngest was also tough sometimes, because my siblings stole my toys. on occassion lol. I met my future sister in law when I was 4, and I also remember playing hide and seek at her house.

30 Day Blog Challenge ~ Day 5~

My favorite Comfort Foods and why.

I Love Grilled Cheese. It reminds me of when I was little in a high chair and my mom was a waitress.. :)
I love Raspberry Ginger Ale. It makes me feel like I am drinking wine....lol
I love Captain Morgan Spiced Rum shots. not very often :( maybe 3 times a year
I love Cream of Broccoli soup. It warms my belly.
I love vegetarian Chick Patties. They remind me that I was a vegetarian for 14 years, and I can do anything I put my mind too. Even against temptation.
I love tomatoes. it reminds me of gardening and the circle of life.

3 days of the 30 Day Blog Challenge

Sunday~I spent with family reflecting on 1 thing. "Patriotism" Freedom isn't free! God Bless everyone that has been affected by 9/11. My Hubby was at Ground Zero afterwards to bring truck loads of supplies to the firefighters........ I could go on forever, but I won't.
Day 2~ Where you plan to be in 10 years ~ In 10 years I plan on being exactly where I am. A stay at home wife ;), blogger and active in my nieces and nephews lives. Also active in local politics. Also to stay Chairman of the My town's Commission on Services for Persons with Disabilities.
However I plan on my blog having more followers and being bigger. I will be 39, and hopefully I won't cry about turning 40. We will be married 16 years. I plan on using my greenhouse to have a nice summer income! I also would like to have a following that buys my crafts. I also Plan on my Disabilities Commission reaching and helping more citizens.

Monday~ Today's ~ Top 5 Pet Peeves. Maybe I should have hubby answer this 1. lol He would have more then 5. I will stick to the top 5 in my house!
1. Unevenly stacked pots/pans. For some reason it drives me friggin nuts if they are not all nested together to save room. I leave the 1 I use most on top, but come' on it saves so much room. SERIOUSLY. then they don't fall on the floor and get dirty!
2. Messed up towels/sheets. I keep sheet sets inside the pillowcases, so that when I change the bed, all I do is look for 1 pattern and grab 1 item. Also if all my towels are folded MY WAY, then they all fit on 1 shelf in the linen closet. Not so true when the hubby puts stuff away.
3. My coupons. They have to be cut, stapled and sorted a certain way. :)
4. My Garden. I have a system, and I like it. Enough said. So don't try to change it. lol
5. People parking in handicap spots that are not handicap.

Tuesday~ tomorrow I will be at the Polls all day, So I posting it now! ~(Day 4)~ My views on religion. I am Catholic. I am a Godmother. I attend church as regularly as I can. I would like to attend more often in the future.

30 day Blog Challenge! Day 1

Ok, so I have been reading other blogs that have been taking part in this challenge, and I have decided to join in the fun! If nothing else, it will remind me to post every day.
Day 1~Current Relationship~

I am happily married to my hubby. Yes we fight. Yes we are close to the 7 year itch (next year). But we are still in love. We try to only fight about what him or I do. We try not to fight about our families, although we do have heated discussions :).... I am Italian,and he is Polish :P so we get loud. lol. He has stood by me through politics, and becoming disabled.I have stood by him through losing his job. We have struggled, but it has made us stronger. We both have different views on life. We both lost our dads young. we both saw our dad's die. That was not easy. He likes polka music, and I love the 80's. We first met in grade school. My dad was the head custodian. We went on field trips together.... most notably to Quincy Market (where we returned on our honeymoon), where after my dad bought him tooooooooo many hot dogs he puked on a ride. lol That was it until I was 22.

I was minding my own business (unusual I know.lol) and my dad was a CB radio operator (mobile 5) as was my future hubby (429). I really did not talk on the CB much, but every1 I knew had a handle. Even my mom.
So 1 day he came over to fix my dad's mike (my dad was legally blind), and saw my grade school picture on the wall. He asked how I was. and 2 years later we were married. My dad, hubby and I all since got our HAM Radio license. We want kids, but that is in God's hands (a story for another day.lol.).
We think that family is really important, and we love our nieces and nephew. We spend our time on facebook, blogging and with the kiddos.
Neither of us are perfect, but through our ups and downs we have been perfect for each other :)
Honey, when you read this.... I LOVE YOU!!!
